Answer 1

Answer:

• 8)(i) Multiple cropping can be done. ...
• (ii) In Palampur farmers grow jowar and bajra during rainy (Kharif) season
• iii)They grow potato between October and December.
• (iv) During winter, they grow wheat.
• (v) It is possible due to the self-developed system of irrigation.

• 9)(i) A farmer having 1 hectare of land for farming is called a subsistence farmer because 1 hectare of land is too less for even the sustenance of a small family. ...Apart from working on his own field he has to work on the field of the rich farmers or work as a casual labourer to survive.

• 11)Savita's condition would have been definitely better had she availed of loan from the bank. She would have got loan from the bank at a low interest rate. Besides, Savita could have devoted more time on her field rather than working, as a farm labourer, for Tejpal Singh .
